Goulet began drawing as.,

a child, but did not discover

the Art. of Rockatree til

much later in his life. His:
first rock formation was cre-"

ated in 1995: at-100- Mile:
House. “I was sitting beside ”

“the lake and picked up a’

rock, then another one and:

_loved the feel of them.” He

has not stopped manipulat-
ing rocks since. .

Goulet began the Patricia

1996 as a Canada Day Cele-

__Wednesday, November 28, 2001.

Stephen Goulet’s rock
formations are meant to
evoke feelings about the

temporary nature of life,
but to add fun and a bit
of mystery to the art
form.

His Art of Rockatree is a
show for all ages, and in-
cludes a hands-on exhibit
that invites individual
creativity.

ate his rock statues for peo-
ple, and is open to teaching

his clients how to set the .
~ formations up themselves, if ©

‘the rocks topple.
He finds peace when cre-

ating art, tr ying not to trans-~

form his art, but keep it sim-
“ple so each person will see
what they feel.

Goulet has.set up a rock |
statue which people can pull”
apart and re-create with his

help.

“Last night we had a cou-
ple of kids who had a great
time laughing and playing

with the rocks.”
